Why Blue Bird

A local operator,
not a lottery.

Booking a cab in an unfamiliar country usually means accepting whatever pulls up. We do the opposite: you know the price, the vehicle class and the plan before you travel.

The fare is agreed before you travel

No meters running in traffic, no surge at 3am, no surprise at the kerb.

Delays are our problem, not yours

We monitor arrivals and reschedule the pick-up ourselves — with no waiting charge.

One fleet, four vehicle classes

Saloon, people carrier, minibus or motorcoach — matched to your party and luggage.

A human answers the phone

Day or night, dispatch is staffed by people who know the island's roads by name.

The fleet

Matched to the party,
not to what's free.

Four classes cover everything from a solo arrival with hand luggage to a conference of two hundred moving in waves.

Where we go

From the airport,
everything is close.

Malta is twenty-seven kilometres end to end. Typical drive times from Malta International Airport are below — traffic and time of day will move them a little.

Valletta

~15 min

The capital, the Grand Harbour and the cruise terminal at Pinto Wharf.

Sliema

~20 min

Seafront hotels, the promenade and the Valletta ferry crossing.

St Julian's & Paceville

~25 min

Spinola Bay, the resort hotels and the nightlife district.

Mdina & Rabat

~20 min

The silent city, the bastion walls and the catacombs below them.

Marsaxlokk

~15 min

The fishing harbour, the luzzu boats and the Sunday market.

Ċirkewwa & Gozo ferry

~45 min

North-tip ferry terminal for Mġarr, Victoria and the Gozo coast.

Drive times are indicative. Send us your exact pick-up and drop-off and we will confirm a fixed price in writing.

How it works

Three messages
and it's handled.

Tell us the journey

Pick-up, drop-off, date, and how many of you there are. Add a flight number if you have one — it is the single most useful thing you can give us.

We quote a fixed price

By return, in writing, including the vehicle class we are assigning. Return journeys are discounted, and early bookings more so.

Your driver is there

Named, liveried and waiting — in arrivals with a board, or at the kerb at the time you asked. Nothing more to arrange.

Start a booking
The Blue Bird standard

What every journey includes.

Punctual, or early

Drivers are dispatched to arrive before the time you gave us, not at it.

Maintained & insured

Serviced on schedule, fully insured, and cleaned between every job.

Drivers who know Malta

Local, licensed, and able to tell you where to eat as well as where to go.

One price, all in

Luggage, child seats and waiting time are included. What we quote is what you pay.

Good to know

Questions we get asked.

Give us your flight number when you book and we track it. If you land late, your pick-up moves with the flight and there is no waiting charge. If you land early, we do our best to be there early too.

In the arrivals hall, after customs, holding a board with your name on it. If you would rather be met at the kerb, tell us when you book and we will arrange it.

Yes. We quote the journey, not the meter, and the quote includes luggage, child seats and reasonable waiting time. The only thing that changes a fixed price is you changing the journey.

We do. We can drop you at the Ċirkewwa ferry terminal, or take the vehicle across on the ferry and continue on the Gozo side — useful for day tours and for groups with luggage.

Regularly. Tell us the ship, the berth and the time you are cleared ashore, and we will plan vehicles and a schedule around your window in port.

Most passengers settle with the driver at the end of the journey. For groups, events and corporate accounts we invoice in advance — just say so when you enquire.

Ready when you are

Tell us where you're going.

Send the journey and we will come back with a fixed price — usually within the hour, at any hour.
